That is not "net" metering, then. "Net" metering is having an import and an export accumulator meter and charging the customer for the "net" value in the equation "net = import - export". Anything else is marketing bullshit from utility industry organizations.
- caseysoftware 4y agoThat's what I thought "net metering" was before getting solar too. Most don't do that. Unfortunately, billing departments run the world.
- maxerickson 4y agoThe term is sort of self defining. Of course it's not surprising that some people just ignore that it means something specific as a phrase. In my state, they don't try to call different rates for demand and generation "net metering": https://aurorasolar.com/blog/what-to-know-about-dtes-net-metering-replacement-in-michigan/ https://aurorasolar.com/blog/what-to-know-about-dtes-net-met... https://www.michigan.gov/mpsc/consumer/electricity/distributed-generation https://www.michigan.gov/mpsc/consumer/electricity/distribut...
- ok_dad 4y agoThat is supposed to be what net metering is, but electric utilities captured the regulators and changed the definition to ensure they could cheat the consumer out of the value of their bought and paid for solar panels.
